    OK, so yes Putin is capable of using nukes. What are we to do?
    Jumping in to aid Ukraine pre-nuking would certainly draw a nuclear response. And believing that won't happen falls into the same trap being laid out here.
    Suing for peace gives Putin a win and is kowtowing to the nuclear threat.
    Arming and training Ukrainians is what we are doing now and eliciting a nuclear threat that we now have to take seriously.
    What are we to do? Preemptively nuke Russia?

    Can we turn the clock back 40 years and knock off Putin instead of trying to knock off Gadhafi?

    Absolutely no. Call Putin's bluff and make him pop the first nuke.

    It's just like Lexington in 1775. Make the Brits fire the first musket and they're tyrants. If the Americans fire first, they're just brigands.

    Anything we get into with China will be a financial or cyber war.
    There is no chance China could drop troops on our soil, and we know not to get involved in a land war in Asia.

    China can’t even drop troops into Taiwan. I’m not worried about a shooting war with China.

    You guys are missing the boat with the worry China is going to invade our shores.
    Instead, they’ll cut our utilities, wipe out our bank accounts and sit back and watch Americans scurry like ants from an anthill under attack by a garden hose.

    Until the next time we forget this truth and figure THIS time will be different.

    Good news: Russia appears to be running critically low of short-range ballistic missiles.
    Bad news: Russia is getting a shitload of imported short-range ballistic missiles from Iran.
